Sorry I couldn’t make it to your house Saturday Andy, I would have came later in the night, but I needed to sleep. I was so tired. I must have played 25+ hours of guitar standing up over the weekend in the studio.

All you guys new who just got updated to Dana’s list… Add me on xbox live and hit me up to play.

Andrew and Coldshadow you guys did a great job in AZ… Those were some sick matches…

lol at John Rog… shoulda practiced more on pad…

Thanx, it was a blast. :slight_smile: I’m not sure where that Abel player was from, but yeah he had skillz. I remember when he got beat badly the first two rounds against Vega… then all of the sudden just exploded on him and destroyed him like he was nothing, everyone was blown away. But yeah I had a great time, except for that speeding ticket I got on the way up… lol :smile:

That Balrog player that was playing Andrew was John Rog? Nice.

Just so you guys know, this was the really good Vega that I was talking about.

He lives in Florida. He plays better than this, but this is just a little taste of how good he is.

Hey guys,

I’m definitely interested in playing you all. My problem to this point has been no stick. I find the 360 controller to be very frustrating to try to use, so until I can try a stick down, I’ve just been, unfortunately, laying low. Once I get something setup I’ll add some of you guys and we can hook up online so you can laugh at my rustiness. :wink:

Also looking forward to meeting you all in person. I’m probably a little older than most of you, hope that isn’t a problem.

I’ll leave you with a youtube video that made me laugh. I haven’t really played online much for the reasons above, but even in the little amount that I have, I could totally relate to this:

[media=youtube]m4cQ8Iywi2U&feature=channel_page[/media]

I actually did lol at the “and right as time’s about to run out…BAM…you’re Ken! nobody expected it man… WOW” part hahaha

I’ve really had people hover over Ryu, then to Ken on the last second. LOL
Don’t know if it was because of this video.

LOL A few of things.

One, bring what you have or just use our sticks when we do have gatherings. If I’m there, you can use my DOA4 stick. I can’t speak for everyone else, but they’re usually cool with you using their stuff, as long as you don’t Juggernaut Punch the thing.

Two, I’m 30 with a wife and two kids, and Konqrr is like 52, or 32, or something, with a wife and three kids, and a couple of the guys are married with no kids. Most of the rest are single and mid to late 20’s, and some are younger than that. As far as I’m concerned, if you were 60 it’d be cool, as long as you had game and weren’t a jerk. If you don’t have game but don’t mind losing and learning, then that’s also good. We all teach each other.

What is his Gamertag?

I just got confirmation that I’m getting work off on Tuesday, so I’ll be there.
And Single Elimination kinda sucks, but I guess it’s okay since Loser’s bracket has their own prizes and such.

And what’s up with the 2nd and 3rd rounds? How do you even qualify for them?

Yeah, he’s a friend of Gootecks who through his podcast was helping John Rog (and someone else, AYK?) be better players (called “From Scrubs to the Winners Club”).

Hmmm…I’m contemplating the U tourney, but I won’t have my stick and I’d have to sluff class so maybe not lol

U of U Tourney–Who’s going?

Let’s get a headcount of those that are going, so we can plan. I’ll update this list; you know I’m good for it. :cool:

DanaTorp
Dash’
awalk002
coldshadow

Call people; SRK people, Facebook people, whomever. GOGOGO!

The 2nd and 3rd rounds are both open to everyone just the winners of this round 1st 2nd and 3rd will not have to play in pool play.

The single elimination bracket is best of 3 5 round matches. So you would have to lose twice but vs the same person. (Japanese tournament style)

The turnout determines the prizes by my sponsors this is the first of three so If we make it big the prizes will get larger.

King of the Cabinet will be 2 round matches winner stays sticks will be provided for this portion.

Someone might let you borrow theirs. I don’t have a stick either, so that’s what I’m hoping for.
